Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A product that allows you to do a job faster AND better is outstanding. This is an outstanding product. I have used the Domino extensively now on large pieces of furniture and most recently on American Girl doll furniture. I brag about the tool to everyone that visits my shop.
The Domino produces "dead on" joinery. It's various methods of mortice location via built in spring pins and/or attachments are ingenious. The German's are great at this. The adjustments for height, width, depth of mortice are very easy to use and intuitive. The tool has very useful scales embedded in base for easy alignment of the mortice when "free wheeling" morticing.
The bits are very easy to change with the little wrench provided.
The vaccum duct provides dust/particle free morticing. Further, the tool makes very little noise. I can use it without ear projectors and still hear my radio in the shop.
The depth adjustment allows for shallow mortices on 3/4" stock for example but then deeper mortices on the mating piece so you don't have to cut the tenons to fit.
The tenons get a bit pricy but I didn't think very long about making my own because they fit PERFECTLY and have nice grooves for glue to move up and into the mortice when installing the tenon.
The Domino is much like a biscuit joiner but provides a much stronger joint and allows you to select the tenon size based on the size of the stock being used.
The use manual is adequate. At first I was a bit disappointed with it but found that the tool's use was so intuitive that I didn't even need the manual.
The Domino is one of the TOP TWO tools in my workshop and I own a lot of tools.
